8395 The Old Man
[by S. David] [art by Sarah V Martin]

Ah yes
But it doesn’t
Think that way
Still in his mind
Not a recall
Of younger days
But the mirror
Shocks him
When did he
Get that way
He still
Mostly thinks
Young
Then an ache
And recognition
No no matter
What youth
Resides inside
The body lies
No truths him
That many many
Days have passed
Since he was
Young
